Chapter 265 - Are you threatening me?

The room was brightly lit and looked luxurious and dignified. A middle-aged guy sat there in the head on the table while Shreya sat opposite him. Another slightly older guy sat beside Shreya looking nervous. He looked like someone who was caught between a rock and hard floor.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#%!d(string=15043105205573105)/are-you-threatening-me_%!d(string=51221653086073563)">#%!d(string=15043105205573105)/are-you-threatening-me_%!d(string=51221653086073563)</a> for visiting.

Shreya was looking at the guy opposite her with a fierce and stubborn look while the guy stared back at her with an equally stubborn look. None of them seemed to be thinking about giving up any time soon.

"I cannot release Abishek into your custody Shreya… the hearing is in one week and you very well know how integral it is for Abishek to testify in the court… that is the only way I can get a conviction. That is the only way to take down the syndicate… I thought that is what you wanted!!" The guy exclaimed frustrated retracting his eyes from her fierce laser-like look.

After all, if this case is successful, then as the leader of the country, his popularity will go leaps and bounds. He will become the talk of the town for the next full year… of course, his credit will be countless times bigger since Shreya said she wishes to be in the dark.

So, he will become someone who will earn people's support just by seeing through this case without really putting any effort into it.

That was part of the reason why he agreed to Shreya's suggestion in the first place… if only the reward was not so high and so tempting, it was not worth the risk involved. And the oppositions he will face and the people who are going to target him are not going to be less… So, he would really need a miracle to dodge a bullet if he cannot convict each and every person he went against.

And sadly enough, there were also some of his supports in that list… but he couldn't really save them since Abishek first went to Shreya and she had as much evidence and information as he has.

So, after doing all this, he cannot take the chance… he cannot let go of Abishek now… he cannot afford to.

"Look, Mr. Prime Minister… with all due respect, you wouldn't have this case or Abishek without me. I gave you this case and I collected the evidence… you better not forget it." Shreya reminded him sternly.

The older guy beside Shreya let out a sigh and replied, "Shreya… we do know that. We are not trying to cut you off or anything… but wait until the hearing is over… you also know the risk of people walking free is high without Abishek taking that stand to testify…" He tried to be amiable… he wanted to resolve this without any party taking offense.

After all, one is the leader of the country and the other is almost the Princess of the country… and he was the one who introduced them to each other.

"I do… and I gave my word that he will be there outside the courthouse on time without a scratch on his body… and I keep my promises…" Shreya said stubbornly.

"But I cannot afford to take such a chance… After all, they were able to kidnap your people from right under your nose… So, your guarantee is not worth a damn shit!" The Prime minister barked back losing his patience.

Right then, Shreya's phone chimed. She glanced at it and gave the minister a sinister look… and said to him.

"Look… I am not here in this room asking for your help because I am incapable. I am here because I am giving you this courtesy out of the position you are holding now and because you are someone Girish uncle trusted."

She then slid her phone across the table with a picture… as the Minister's and the Chief's eyes swept through the photo, they automatically stiffened.

How can they not recognize the picture… after all to be safe, they themselves chose the place to hide Abishek and Shreya had the picture of the outside of the house along with his own guard smoking outside leisurely.

"I wouldn't even have to lift a finger to get Abishek out of that house and take him out of your custody… and when I hide him, trust me… you will never find him… not even if you used the full force of the government. And don't forget, elections are soon coming and you are majorly sponsored by one of the companies that I had taken over. And you had personally put most of your sponsor's behind bars. So, I suggest you try and make me very happy if you are looking forward to reaping the success of this case…"

"Are you threatening me?" The minister asked with angry eyes… after all, he is the elected leader of the country and Shreya is nothing but a little girl in his eyes.

"I wouldn't dare to but these are the facts. I am just saying, your life is going to be so much smoother if you do not try to make my life difficult," Shreya replied leaning back on her chairs and sitting back arrogantly.

"Why are you being so stubborn, Shreya?" He asked exasperated. He really did not want to get on the bad side of Shreya… especially now. Because he knew, he is going to need her help not only after the case but even with the case. After all, he really cannot trust his men to not sell him out for money… and there are things that need to happen outside the purview of what is legal.

Shreya then slid a picture of the minister's daughter… The minister stiffened all over again the instant his eyes fell on the photo… after all, this picture seemed to be taken a couple of hours ago… He clearly remembers the dress his daughter wore this morning.

"What would you do for her… I would do so much more for my family. So, trust me when I tell you… I do not care who stands in my way and how many people are going to stand in my way. I will go through each and every such person and protect them. So, it is better for you if you are not going to be one of them…" Shreya said fiercely.

"So, minister, I would like Abishek with my guys outside tomorrow morning or else I am going to take him myself… and he will not come back if I take him on my own… You think and decide what you are going to do…" Shreya said getting up from her place.

But before exiting, Shreya turned around and added, "If you hand him over as asked, I promise he will be there outside the court to testify without a hair out place…"
